What is Annual Giving / Pledging?
Annual giving and/or pledging is a spiritual exercise in willful sacrifice to God. It is a necessary call that God places upon each of our lives, that we would separate ourselves from our worldly possessions that oftentimes consume us, in an effort to embark upon a closer relationship with our Creator. As faithful stewards of the Church, the institution that God created for our benefit and support, we return a portion of what we have received in abundance back to Christ, so that we may continue in the Great Commission.
Why Pledge?
Pledging is the principle means of support that allows Caroline Church to continue to prosper the message of Jesus Christ to the world. Your financial support enables our ministries to sustain and flourish, as each annual pledge goes to support the day to day operation of our ministry. In 2025, the Vestry (board of directors) is asking each and every member to participate in the annual giving campaign by way of financial support. In doing so, we ask everyone to prayerfully consider a contribution that demonstrates the sacrificial call that we all have been asked to share.
How Much and How Often?
Giving is a personal decision, discerned through prayerful conversation with God. All financial contributions to Caroline Church, in any amount, are welcomed and encouraged.
What is important is that you give, and you give with consistency. As result of the nature of our ministry, Caroline Church is active every month of the year, even in the traditional slow months of summer we are experiencing some of our greatest calls to serve. Regular giving, on a weekly or monthly basis, allows Caroline Church to meet the regular budgetary demands placed upon our church and ensures that we are able to support the important work of ministry in our community
How Do I Pledge?
Contributions are received throughout the week and blessed at each of our worship services on Saturday and Sunday.
You can schedule your gifts electronically by simply clicking the “DONATE NOW” button below or at the top right of the page. You may choose to set up a one-time gift, or schedule contributions for regular support.
We also are happy to offer pledging online, by selecting the “2025 Pledge Card” button at the top of this page. We ask all participants to submit your pledge card, a document used by the Vestry for financial planning, either online or with the paper copy provided in the Church narthex. Ushers, Priests and administrators of the church are happy to receive documentation of your support, and are available for any questions you may have.
Together we move “300 Years and Beyond, and Forward in Faith”!
